I feel like there's something wrong with the blind pick matchmaking

I'm bronze 2 atm and was silver 4 previous season. Now, two (normal) games in a row I've been matched with people who were at least higher then gold in the previous season. First game I got matched with two gold players, one plat and one diamond (Previous season). And now I got matched with three platinum players and one gold player, we were up against two platinum players and three gold players. I would like to add that I played those games at fairly normal times (not super early or super late), also the queue didn't take long at all in both games, so I feel like there should be some bronze or silver players I could get matched with. So I don't know if this is a bug or something, I've got no idea where to post this. I just wanted to mention it somewhere at least. Also, proof if necessary.

TL;DR: I keep getting matched with players that got a way higher rank then me.

They quite possibly have lower normal MMR than ranked MMR (as the two are not connected)

If you play basically nothing but ranked, your normal MMR could be significantly lower than the skill level it should reflect.
